Chrysler has announced that it will begin a recall of almost 600,000 minivans and Jeep Wranglers later this month. About 289,000 Jeep Wranglers manufactured in 2006-2010 will be recalled due to a potential brake fluid leak. Additionally, about 285,000 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country minivans, from 2008 and 2009, will be recalled due to a wiring problem that can cause a fire inside the sliding doors.
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers about the repairs and will repair the vehicles free of charge. Although no injuries or deaths have occurred yet, Chrysler seems eager to avoid the liability Toyota faces for its malfunctioning automobile parts.
